I have heading off to the doctors office. I cant seem to get my blood pressure to go down. I have other symptoms that are leading me to believe something is wrong as well so the doctor has asked me to come in. PLEASE PRAY that he does not hospitalize me like they did after Skyler. Please pray that this is something that can be managed at home...I really don't want to go to the hospital and I am very very upset about the prospect of that and I know it is just making things worse.

I just figured out the video and uploaded it. Please give it time to process if it isn't working. You can look me up on youtube at lovmykids333.

Short update. My blood pressure was really high at 175/101. Not good at all. I did get to come home but not before going to the hospital to get some blood work done so that we could see if my kidneys are working properly. Ugggg.....my b/p medication was upped and so hopefully with some rest...and a lot of prayer...I will start getting better.

Such a beautiful video, but now I'm sitting here all teary. I know I'm a stranger, that we've never really met, but all I thought when I was watching that was:I love you. And my heart goes out to you. I pray everything is alright.

That is a great video and something I am sure he will always treasure! With the open adoption and R&B's love I am sure he will know what an amazing person you are and how hard this was for you. I hope you are feeling better, prayers going up that you can figure out what is going on and heal at home.

Oh my goodness.....that was amazing! Thank you for sharing such an amazing video with us. I may not know you and probably will never get to meet you, but I have to tell you that I think you are one strong person. I am a single mom to a 3 year old. It is a challenge every day and some days I ask myself how I am going to keep going, but we always just seem to make it thru. As I was watching this my son looked over at me and said "Mama no cry". I just hugged him and kept telling him I loved him, I guess that is what gets us thru our rough moments.You have made a very "tough" situation into one amazing life for R and B and Baby Ty. You are one remarkable woman. Ty is so very lucky to have all of you in his life and he will never be missing out on love.I am praying that you will be okay and your trip to the hospital will be just a visit. I am praying you don't have to stay there and can return back home to where you are comfortable.

Totally bawling and totally praying. Man, I can't imagine the heartbreak, and then post-natal complications on top of it. My you be healed quickly, and abundantly blessed, because of the gift that you have given. Your strength, honesty and faith are encouraging and admirable. God Bless you!!!

Wow bek! I had no clue your bp was so high. I do hope you are doing well, please keep me informed. I will be praying. I have watched that video 3 times now. Its perfect in every way! Will ben and rebekah leave for home tomorrow? I sure love u lady!Cindie

Rebekah:This video is priceless! When Ty is old enough, and gets to view this, he will know what an AWESOME, compassionate, responsible, and wise mom you are. Your bond with him will never be broken. As a child that was adopted I wish my birth parents would have done something like this. Instead I got a box of paperwork to read, trust me, it wasn't fun, nor did it answer any of my questions regarding why they put me up for adoption. I would suggest you continue to document your journey for Ty to read one day.I'm praying for your health. Love, JC

praying for you. please remember how important your health is and if you have to be in the hospital a few more days...so be it. the daughter of my very good friend had very high blood pressure after the birth of her 3rd child and it had to be managed in the hospital. you are in my prayers.

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It doesn't surprise me, because you and R&B's relationship is really a very special and beautiful thing. Thank you for posting such a wonderful video. And I hope your blood pressure is regulating!Kel

Me: My name is Rebekah. I am a child of the most high God and the mother to six precious children, four of which I parent, one who went to be with Jesus at six weeks gestation, and the last one (sweet Tyrus) who I relinquished to adoption. This blog highlights all the good the bad and the ugly parts of being a single mom and also a birth mom. Truth be told, I'm just a sinner saved by grace, and I have made a lot of mistakes, but its all about counting the cost and moving on and making life better, because life is good....really really good.

Chelsea: My firstborn. She was born with a crooked nose and a personality that caught every ones attention. She is independent, and loving, and very girly. Give her some hairspray and some makeup and a pair of skinny jeans and she is happy. Thankfully her nose straightened out but the rest of her stayed the same...I'm so glad.

Victoria: My second born. Thoughtful, serious and beautiful are words that sum up Victoria since she was born. It took a lot to make her smile as a baby but when she did it lit up the room. Now that she is older she is still serious, but also very loving and likes to kiss my cheek all the time. She is sneaky yet likes to please. She loves animals and I wouldn't be surprised if she became an animal activist some day.

Matthew: My third born. Movin Movin Movin would describe Matt exactly. He is just a bundle full of energy. He doesn't like video games or TV, he would rather be outside throwing a football or riding his bike. He is all boy. He is my fix it kid. Give him a screw driver and he will figure it out.

Skyler: My fourth born. The baby of the family is exactly what little Sky is. I think he knows this and plays all of us for all we are worth. Trouble would be the word I would use to describe him. Don't leave him alone for a minute or he will be playing cars through a pile of flour in my living room. Even though he is into everything, he is such a sweetheart and we all love him very much.
